Biomedical Applications of Self-Healing Polymers addresses the critical need for materials that can self-repair, enhancing the durability and functionality of biomedical devices and tissue engineering scaffolds. The design, characterization, and fabrication of self-healing polymers is covered in detail, as well as the key preparation methods, classification, and mechanisms of action. This book also explores the integration of nanoparticles in self-healing polymers and the creation of self-healing scaffolds for tissue regeneration. The second part of the book focuses on the biomedical applications of self-healing polymers, such as wound healing, drug delivery, cell and tissue engineering, medical devices, dental restorative materials, and 3D-printed biomedical constructs. It includes in vitro and in vivo evaluations, discussing current limitations and future prospects. Biomedical Applications of Self-Healing Polymers is of interest to academics and researchers in materials science, biomedical engineering, and pharmaceutical and biomedical sciences.
